Plant Tissue
Tissue that is the first layer of cells in a leaf.
What is epidermis?
How you can identify a plant root or stem.
What is by their relationship to a node?
Growth responses of plants to their environment.
What are tropisms?
Plant cell walls contain this to help support the plant.
What is cellulose?
Vascular tissue that transports sugar from the leaves to the rest of the plant.
What is Phloem?
A carrot is this kind of root.
What is taproot?
What are nastic movements?
The tightly packed layer of cells in a leaf where most photosynthesis takes place.
What is the palisade layer?
Water inside plant cells supports the plant by creating this.
What is turgor pressure?
This tissue forms wood.
What is xylem?
The part of a stem where a leaf is attached.
What is a node?
Plant growth that is a result of exposure to light.
What is Phototropism?
Layer of cells in a leaf that are not tightly packed to allow room for gas exchange.
What is the spongy layer?
Tree bark is made up of cork cambium and these 2 layers.
What are cork and phloem?
Where vascular tissue is found in leaves.
What is the vein?
Two important functions of roots.
What are absorbing water and anchoring (support)?
Plant stems growing up is an example of this type of tropism (be sure to include positive or negative).
What is negative gravitropism?
These help close the stomata to avoid excessive water loss and allow gas exchange.
What are guard cells?
Loss of water through the stomata.
What is transpiration?
Tissue that produces xylem and phloem cells. Found in between the xylem and phloem.
What is vascular cambium?
Tiny projections on the dermal cells of roots that aid in absorption of water and minerals.
What are root hairs?
How nastic movements occur.
What is changes in turgor pressure?
What tissues are present in the veins of leaves?
What are vascular tissues or (xylem and phloem)?
The main function of the petiole.
What is carrying water and sugar between the leaf and stem?
